ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a toenail having a generally triangular shaped head and one or more shanks. The head has two wood bearing surfaces which are typically formed at right angles to each other and a third head surface adapted to be driven, typically by a hammer. The shanks extend from the wood bearing surfaces preferably in a direction perpendicular to and away from the head surface. The shanks are preferably formed as an integral extension of the head thus providing a very rigid fastener for joining the intersecting faces of two boards such as a vertical stud and a horizontal plate. The shanks are positioned and sized so that when the tips of the shanks are registered to the intersecting faces of the intersecting boards, the wood bearing surfaces are parallel to their opposed intersecting board surfaces. Thus, when the shanks of the toenail are driven into the intersecting boards, the bearing surfaces driven into flush engagement with the surfaces of the intersecting boards, thereby providing a superior, very rigid attachment between said boards.
